As anyone who's heard Amo knows, Bring Me the Horizon have taken a hard turn in a pop-leaning direction with their latest record, and frontman Oli Sykes shared his feelings on fan reactions to the divisive LP on Instagram over the weekend. "I love how much this record is polarising peeps. Hasn't been like this since we released suicide season," he wrote, referencing BMTH's 2008 full-length, which saw the group move away from their deathcore origins. "A lot of kids were quick to shit all over it.. because it was something very different." While this might seem like a slight dig at the haters, he followed up, "I 100% support and encourage people's true opinions and if you are someone who's only a fan of metal & hardcore with no exceptions, you are well within your right to hate this."

Today, Sykes and his band shared footage of their recent performance for BBC Radio 1's Rock Show With Daniel P Carter of nu-metal–tinged single "Wonderful Life." The low-lit, intimate pro footage captures BMTH in their Sheffield rehearsal studio, complete with stacks on stacks of amplifiers and heads, as well as ample floor space for Sykes to exercise his signature stage moves.

The band is currently in the midst of an American tour alongside newcomers Fever 333 and post-hardcore stalwarts Thrice — see their upcoming itinerary below. Amo was released last Friday, January 25th and can be found on all digital and analog formats, along with streaming services.
